I met a guy who is new to the area (4 months living here) and we started talking cycling. Turns out he's a triathlete and mountain biker. He's basically just been doing miles around where he lives on the road. I asked if he had done the gaps or been in the No. GA mountains or even been to Blankets and he said he's not yet learned where locals ride.

I'll hook him up with local MTB trails (near ATL) but could you all share where you love to ride. Where do you park? What's the ride like? He's fit as KCUF and has wicked endurance so all suggestions welcome. Thanks y'all!

Suggest picking up from a bike shop newsstand near you - SOUTHERN BICYCLE MAGAZINE - SPRING 2013 - The SBL Guide To The Ride! Was impressed with this addition, tons of metro-Atlanta rides and maps of several local mountain bike trails!

I've got books and have ridden a lot of trails around here and in North GA but was just wondering what you guys are into these days. Like what are people's favorite rides. Some trails are better than others.
